This is a Greek inspired twist on stuffed peppers. It makes for a great appetizer or even side dish. Great for vegetarians too! Total prep time is about 15 minutes, and it takes about 30 minutes to cook.

Ok folks, don’t freak out… we’re going to make salmon burgers! These are an alternative to traditional fishcakes and much healthier than their bovine cousin the hamburger. Trust me, these asian-style salmon burgers taste good. You even get to have a side of healthy cucumber/carrot salad or slaw too! Don’t be afraid of the fat… most of it is from the salmon & is high in omega-3! It’s good for you! Total prep time should take you about 20-25 minutes, and only about 10 minutes to cook.

This traditional dessert can sometimes be loaded with fat. With ingredients like sugary cake and whipped cream, a strawberry shortcake may not fit into your eating plan. Don’t worry, you won’t notice the difference if you whip up this healthier take on the original. You’ll love it just as much as the fattier version. Also, this version uses store-bought dessert shells to cut down on prep time.

This is a great, warm and filling soup to fight the frigidness of winter! It has complex carbohydrates, is low in fat, and is a good source of fiber and protein, because of the mix of lentils, chickpeas, and greek yogurt. There’s no meat, so it’s even vegetarian! The best part…its easy to make, and only takes about 30 min to prep and cook!
